What should we actually feel guilty about?

Episode 260 of The Ethical Life podcast examines the complex nature of guilt, an emotion often viewed as entirely negative due to the discomfort and sleeplessness it causes. The discussion explores how guilt prompts individuals to replay past mistakes. Additionally, the hosts analyze whether secular culture can establish effective paths toward responsibility and forgiveness, contrasting this with the clearer boundaries of right and wrong that were historically provided by religion to guide human behavior.
